Science road show

Cross Country

On friday 24th May our school did cross country. All of us had bet our time by a long time.

Lots of people had a good time.  After all of our hard work we had a lovely lunch put on by the P.T.A it was really good.  James was really proud of himself!!

Fish Inquiry

In my class we all did a science experiment on fishy hands.

I volunteered to lift up the fish and I smelt really bad afterwards.People asked to wash there hands with all different products. I'll name a couple. Detergent, vinegar and many more. People had to smell them and then write a hypothesis of what they thought took out the smell and what didn't.

 We also cut up the fish and put them in jars, we put salt on one,lemon juice one one and a plain one just for a check up when we need to.They are now sitting on our class room window sill, we are checking up on them everyday.The fish was an Australasian snapper and weighed 12 kg!!

Swimming

At the begining of this year our class went swimming in the school pool.We all were sculling on our backs for survival.
Sculling is lying on your back in water.We were all practicing our freestyle and many other strokes for swimming sports. After a couple of survival practices we put jeans and a jersey on and tried to swim with them and it was hard to take them off. 

Disguised Dinner

We had a school camp at Lake Karapiro Lodge.
On the second night we all dressed in disguises to hide our identity. It was hard to eat with our costumes on and some people forgot they had masks on.

Makahari Students

Last term students from Makahari high came for a visit to our school. We played Japanese games and listened to Japanese music it was really fun.

Pencil portraits

In room 7 we have been learning how to shade with a pencil and have used a ruler and measured the right places so  it's symetrical. Im proud of my work but next time im going to try get my hair lines right, so it does'nt look out of place.
